Great Planters-Would Buy Again
Planters were very straight forward in assembling. Looks just like product photos (they are beige white even though I wished they offered a pure white). I chose these because they were not only galvanized but powder coated, so I felt this would be more durable than others I looked at. After 4mo, they have held up perfectly. The metal could be thicker for a bit more stability, but for the price, I think these were a great buy.

A wood-look metal planter that should last for years!!
I ordered two sets of the 2′ x 4′ x 2′ wood-look metal planters + a 3-pack of 2′ round x 2′ high ones to fill in a spot in our back yard. Two bad ice storms in three years took half of our shade trees and then the Texas sun took our beautiful shade loving ground cover. So – lets try some raised planters?!There are some very good things about these planters and a couple (IMHO) minor flaws. The metal has a very good wood pattern and, with the cross braces in the middle of the long sides, seems sturdy enough. I have put about 50 # of stone in the bottoms for drainage and to hold the planter placement – the little bent metal “spikes” meant for the corners are not adequate. Additionally, there was approximately 280# of compost, manure and raised bed planting soil added to each rectangle.Putting the rectangles together is quite easy – I would recommend using a table or bench to work on – my 74 y.o. knees were not up to building on our deck! The panels go together easily but be careful of the slightly rolled (knife-like) edges where they were sheared from the rolls of steel! Gloves are provided for hand protection BUT someone needs to know that most men cannot use such small gloves!! I found the provided screw driver adequate but used a larger one from my tool box for comfort. I would also recommend using an adjustable wrench or “crescent” wrench to tighten the interior wing nuts to a good hold. Speaking of the screws – I pre-painted all 342 screw heads used on the planters with a dark brown Rust-Oleum paint. The bright shiny screws showing against the dark brown of the planters was not my idea of a finished product!Not counting the painting/drying time for the screw heads – I took about 1-1/2 hours to remove the thin (pain in the A$$) plastic wrapping from the metal panels and assemble each of the 2′ x 4′ x 2′ planter boxes. About 45 minutes for each of the 2′ round units. I even found that, with some effort, I could put two of the round ones together to be a 2′ high unit which fits nicely among the 2′ x 4’units.Overall, I like these planters and am much happier with them than any of the various colored or galvanized ones I had looked at previously on Amazon. AND, “she who must be obeyed” is very happy too!!Dennis in Austin, TX

Excellent packaging
I ordered these planters for under windows – to plant perennial flowers. The planters arrived as per the indicated shipping – and were very well packaged. the planters have to be assembled and as the planters are sheet metal – the packaging includes cotton gloves to protect your hands while assembling. Additionally each side is coated with a thin plastic which is easily peeled off for a completely perfect finish – no marks or scratches. Assembly includes many nuts/bolts and two cross bars one for top/bottom all which firmly stabilize planters very well. Corners are reinforced – no bottoms allows maximal drainage for healthy roots – I placed landscaping fabric under mine to reduce any weeds. The planters are filled with potting material and do not become mishaped with the added weight of the dirt. I am very satisfied with how they look, how quickly they were shipped, and how easy they were to assemble

Easy to assemble…bends out after soil added
These arrived very quickly and the green color looks great in the garden. Assembly was simple and instructions were easy to follow. Smaller than I anticipated but that is my fault for not accurately measuring. Yes, the edges are sharp but using gloves to assemble them helped immensely. The top is folded over so it’s not an issue there either. The supports in the middle don’t provide much support. We noticed the metal bowing outward after layering organic matter and soil. Not as sturdy as I was expecting. I have my doubts how long this will last. A bit disappointed in the quality considering the reviews I read before purchasing.
